With fall settling in and the holidays around the corner, this is the perfect time to plan your cool weather aesthetic treatments – and have your regularly scheduled enhancements timed right for all those holiday parties! 

From grand estates to chic penthouses, here's a glimpse into the stunning homes that A-list celebrities have bought and sold through Sotheby's International Realty, each property showcasing unique style, elegance, and one-of-a-kind amenities.

When we go to New York and place deliveries we try to be mindful about what the weather is going to be like when the items we’re looking at actually arrive. So when we pick pieces from the resort season delivery, we want to make sure you don’t have to wait until spring to wear it!

In this week’s episode of “What kind of nostalgic goodies does Caiti have up her sleeve?,” I am reminded again of those simpler times. No responsibility, carefree and oblivious. Do I miss them? Sure. Would I trade today-me for yesterday-me? Not a chance. Yesterday-me would not have the appreciation for those wild times that today-me does. 

The Family First Law Group has some new faces to share. We’re joining forces with Natalie Page and the Life & Estate Law Planning Center! We’re so excited to have a new partner coming onboard and with so much amazing experience with life planning. We also have a new associate, Ford Morrison!

A beautifully staged home helps buyers envision themselves living in the space, creating an emotional connection that can lead to more competitive offers. Addressing repairs and ensuring the home is spotless reassures buyers that the property is well-maintained, reducing concerns about future issues. These efforts not only enhance the home's appeal but also increase its perceived value, helping it stand out in a crowded market.

For us we know that the holidays are full of emotion – love, happiness, stress, and melancholy. It’s our job to make them as joyful and stress-free as possible and we take that job very seriously. I’m extremely excited for the selection that we curated for you this year and can’t wait for you to see it! On November 7 from 6pm to 9pm Red Barn Mercantile will fling open its door to our annual Christmas wonderland!

As we approach our holiday reveal in just a week and a half, I can’t help but feel a mix of nerves and excitement bubbling within me. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of planning, with UPS and FedEx deliveries becoming a regular sight outside our door. We've been unpacking an astonishing number of boxes—truly, tons of them! I couldn’t be more excited to share what we have planned for you—our cherished customers, friends, and neighbors, both new and old.

Hard to believe we’re writing about the last events of 2024! This year has been a busy one and we’re a bit sad to see it come to an end. We know that November and December tend to be everyone’s craziest months so we wanted to make sure we let folks know sooner rather than later about our upcoming events. The Hive kicks off November with two great trunk shows: Ann Mashburn and Think Rolyn.

I’ve been gushing over wool and knits from Argentinian makers since last fall when we brought hand-knit wool sweaters to American In Paris. We couldn’t help but notice that lately, this voluminous, textural style seems to be popping up even more. The Fall 24 runways boasted texture, fringe, and volume.

As Thanksgiving looms for the Sandwich Generation, many of us find ourselves not just celebrating with our families, but also navigating the complexities of change for aging parents. This Thanksgiving, consider using the occasion to have meaningful conversations with your parents. Here are some topics and tips to guide your discussions, making the most of this special time together.

Last week, Maria and I set off for Maine, with a brief stop in Rhode Island. Many of you know that the majority of my landscapes are inspired by Maine, and these annual pilgrimages recharge my creative energy, offering fresh perspectives for next year's show at Artemis Gallery. Every year reveals something new, and this trip was no exception.

I’m baffled by the number of women who still count calories. We know the dinosaur thinking of “calories in, calories out” is a farce, a myth, and incredibly shortsighted. The fitness industry wants you to believe it so they can sell you something like an app to track your calories. The nutrition industry wants you to continue to search for THE perfect combo of calories and foods so miraculously you’ll have that body of the woman on their IG post. But I want you to know the truth. 

Trigger warning: this article contains personal details of pregnancy loss.

The first time, they called it a “chemical.” A chemical? I had a positive pregnancy test, which for me was so much more than just that — I had calculated the expected due date, wondered the baby’s gender, even added a few more names to the ever-growing list on my phone’s notepad. It was hard moving forward, but we did. We always did. 

While I may not be the biggest fan of pumpkin-flavored lattes, I absolutely embrace real pumpkin this season for its incredible bone-building properties. Let’s be honest: Who doesn’t want strong bones? And pumpkin is here to help! This incredible gourd is packed with minerals and has amazing alkalizing properties, which are crucial for maintaining bone health.

I know people love the ease of a dress. I get it: the throw and go option of a dress simplifies your morning. I just don’t wear many. Maybe it’s my body type, maybe it’s just what makes me feel comfortable, but I tend to gravitate towards sets. Yes, I have written about my love of a track suit. It runs deep in me. But my affection really lies with anything that coordinates.

I first met Ana at an evening event at American in Paris. Her long, shiny black hair caught my eye and I enviously asked if it was naturally straight or if she had to blow dry, flatiron and put a ton of product in it like me. She smiled and said “blow dryer,” but I knew that she was just born lucky with great hair. When Renée and I arrived for her Street Style shoot, we knew she needed little direction, she carries herself with incredible style and grace.

As the seasons change, so do the trends in wedding planning. I've found it surprising that these past few years, at my restaurant, Hummingbird, winter weddings have emerged as the new choice for couples looking to create a unique and enchanting celebration. Scanning through photos shared by outstanding photographers, I found some compelling reasons why winter weddings are becoming the new, hot thing.

At Salon deZEN, we take sustainability seriously, and it’s become a core part of our mission. Our dedication to reducing waste has led us to recycle an impressive 3,575.97 pounds of beauty waste this year alone—including hair clippings, excess color, used foils, and single-use plastics like gloves. But sustainability isn’t just about numbers; it’s about creating a positive ripple effect.
